Ingredients
Vegetables and Aromatics
- 1 teaspoon light olive oil
- 1/4 cup diced onion (red, yellow, or white)
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup baby spinach
Proteins
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cooked sausage patty (preferably spicy veggie sausage)
Seasonings and Cheese
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Heat light olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté until they become translucent and fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Sauté Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Add Spinach: Stir in the baby spinach and cook until wilted, which should take about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the vegetable mixture from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk thoroughly. Pour the eggs into the same skillet over low to medium heat. Stir gently to scramble, cooking the eggs slowly to ensure fluffiness.
- Combine Ingredients: As the eggs begin to set but are still slightly runny, add the cooked sausage patty broken into pieces and the sautéed vegetable mixture back into the pan. Continue stirring until the eggs are fully cooked and combined with the vegetables and sausage.
- Finish with Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the scrambled eggs. Give a final gentle stir to distribute the cheese evenly and serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh mushrooms and spinach for optimal flavor and nutrition.
- Spicy veggie sausages add extra protein and a flavorful kick but feel free to substitute with your preferred sausage type.
- For a dairy-free option, omit the Parmesan cheese or substitute with a vegan cheese alternative.
- Cooking the eggs slowly over medium-low heat helps achieve creamy, fluffy results.
- Adjust seasoning according to your taste preferences.
